Summary : A
Cabuliwallah named Rahaman reached near the house of the writer. He was a
peddler and sold seasonal goods. Mini, the five years old daughter of the
writer, saw him. The writer was busy on writing his story. When Mini called him,
he came towards her. When Cabuliwallah came towards her house, Mini got afraid
and went to her mother. But, the writer called her and introduced with Rahaman
to remove her fear from her mind. The Cabuliwallah gave nuts and raisins to
her. Then Cabuliwallah became a regular visitor to Mini’s home. They became
good friends.
Rahaman
sold seasonal goods. Once he had sold a Rampuri sawl to a costumer on credit.
But when he went to collect his money, the costumer didn’t give the money. It
made Rahaman so angry that he stabbed the costumer with knife. Rahaman was
charged for attempting murder and was sent to jail for long time. When he was
released from the jail, he directly went to the writer’s house. There was a
ceremony in the writer house. Mini was going to get married. At first, the
writer didn’t allow him to see her. But Rahaman gave nuts and raisins for her
and gave it to the writer. He then took out the hand print of his daughter from
his pocket, and declared that he also had a daughter like Mini in his house.
Seeing the condition of the Cabuliwallah, the eyes of the writer filled with
tears. He called Mini who was in wedding dress, and introduced with Rahaman.
Rahaman was surprised to see mini grown up. He remembered his own daughter and
expressed the concerns about her. The writer got sentiment, and so, he offered
hundred rupees to Rahaman by reducing some of the festivities like bands and
electric lights. But the writer got happy to realize, that he was helping
father who is going to meet his daughter.
Interpretation : The writer says that separation from the beloved ones is painful. Rahman suffered from the separation from his daughter while he was in calcutta. When he was living and working as a peddler, he always remembered his daughter. In the place of his daughter, he used to look at Mini and had consolation in her company. A man, while living in the foreign land, lives painful life in the memory of his family.
Critical Thinking : Most people prefer to migrate to foreign land. They may have their personal reasons, for example , interest in living foreign land ,earning livelihood, having education etc. But it is true that they are bound to leave their birth place , parents , friends and others and they do not have anyone even while they fall sick and lying in their bed. Nobody takes care of these people . Rahman is an example . He keeps a paper with the print of finger and palm that belong to his daughter. He loves Mini as his own daughter and gets consolation . He does not have friends to relatives to defend him at the time of being accused of assault of murder. I think the writer has generalized the feelings of people of those who are living in foreign land.
Assimilation : Last time, I had attended a press conference in which two women appeared at the dias, both crying and expressing their painful feelings. One of them had lost her husband who was reported to dead , while working in a Gulf country .Other said that her son had gone to the us for higher study ,but he was shot down by the locals in the college . They said that they had appealed the ministry to manage the delivery of the dead for last one month, but they not able to receive the bodies , in reality , onbody cares while they are alive and after death , that care seems impossible.
